Your Garment Of Glory

Exodus 28:2

In the old testament the priests of God were arrayed in robes that were glorious and beautiful.
The purpose of these unique robes was to make them (priests) distinct from the other children of Israel.
The priestly garment was something of a glorious uniform priests wore which reveals they are set apart, called and distinguished for God's service.

In Christ Jesus we are spiritual priests.
1 Peter 2:9
So there is a garment of glory in the spirit realm that shows who those in Christ Jesus are.

God is a God of uniqueness and variety.
God is a God who sets apart and distinguishes.
The scriptures is full of evidence of this.
He distinguishes between people, nations, siblings, miracles and achievements.

In Jacob's family, God put a distinction upon Joseph among Jacob's children.
This distinction was further evidenced by the coat/garment of many colors Jacob gave to Joseph who is his favorite son.
Joseph's gift- the coat/garment of many colors represents the favor, call, mantle, anointing, royalty, and manifold wisdom of God upon Joseph's life.

Twice we see the garment/robe of Joseph taken from him in the Bible account.
Each time Joseph's robe/garment was taken from him something unfortunate happened to him.
The first time he had his robe taken away from him (by his brothers) he ended up in a pit and was sold to slavery.
Genesis 37:23,24

The second time Joseph lost a robe he ended up in prison unfairly.
Genesis 39:12-21
Prior to his loosing his robe on two occasions, on each occasion he was doing well.
Before his brothers stripped him of his multicolored robe which was a gift from his father, he was enjoying his father's favor and love.
Before Joseph left his robe in Mrs Potiphar's hand he was enjoying favor and success with Potiphar his boss.

There seems to be a link between the robes of Joseph and his well being.
What happened to Joseph each time he lost his robe was an attack.
The Bible records that the archers shot at Joseph.
We don't see any men with bow and arrows shoot at Joseph in the scriptures.
Genesis 49:22,23

The archers who shot at Joseph were spiritual archers.
Their attacks caused the tragedies and pain in Joseph's life.
The attack of these archers resulted in physical attacks and loss.
The attacks of these archers made Joseph loose his garments.
 When your garment is lost  your nakedness is exposed.
When you experience attempts from men to expose you, disgrace you, and cause loss in your life, just know you are under the attack of spiritual archers.
Psalm 91:5
They couldn't stop Joseph, so they will not be able to stop you too.

When your garment is lost your nakedness is exposed.
What happened to Joseph in the natural represents what is happening to many people in the spiritual realm.
As Joseph lost his garments physically, the enemy has stolen the garments of many people spiritually.
John 10:10

Just as Joseph had a coat of many colors, you also have a garment of glory that God has given you.
Isaiah 61:10
This garment is needed for the fulfillment of your destiny.
Your garment of glory is needed for your forward movement and progress in life.
Your garment of glory is necessary to attract the right things and people into your life.
Your garment of glory brings honor, dignity, and lifting into your life.

Garments have spiritual representations in the Bible:
1.The robe of righteousness.
2.The garment of Jesus Christ that centurion soldiers cast lots for.
3.The garment of Jesus Christ that the woman with the issue of blood touched the helm of and received her wholeness.
4.God made garments for Adam and Eve from animal skin as an improvisation after they lost their garment of glory.
5.Adam and Eve didn't know what nakedness was until they lost the garments of glory that covered them after their disobedience.
6.The garment of praise
7.Garments of salvation
8.Angels are described as having white garments on etc

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
